MODERN  ARTISTS  OF  AMERICA 


ITH  the  present  exhibition,  a.  new  society,  the 
Modern  Artists  of  America,  first  comes  before 
the  public.  The  public  will  ask  what  need 
there  is  for  a new  art  society  in  a community 
where  there  are  already  so  many.  Although 
there  are  many  art  societies  in  New  York 
there  has  been  none  which  has  welcomed  any 
variation  from  academic  traditions,  none  where  marked  indiv- 
iduality could  be  shown.  The  time  had  come  to  gather  together 
the  various  elements  opposed  to  academic  art,  and  the  Modern 
Artists  of  America  is  the  first  society  which  has  brought  to- 
gether the  forces  opposed  to  the  blind  acceptance  of  tradition. 

No  event  in  the  art  world,  neither  the  opening  exhibition 
of  the  Society  of  American  Artists  over  forty  years  ago  nor  the 
Armory  Show  of  1913,  nor  even  the  Independent  has  seemed 
so  important  to  the  development  of  our  art  as  the  founding  of 
the  Modern  Artists  of  America,  and  this  is  its  first  show.  There 
can  be  no  advance  in  art  without  experiment.  The  conservative 
artists  have  in  the  Academy  a bulwark  against  all  experimental 
art,  against  all  change.  The  radical  artists  now  have  a society 
which,  giving  experimental  art  a place,  cannot  fail  to  influence 
profoundly  the  future  of  art.  The  spirit  of  life,  of  fearlessness, 
of  joy,  of  restlessness  which  animates  so  much  of  the  work  of 
the  younger  men  will  be  able  to  make  itself  felt.  As  life,  with 
its  constant  change,  is  more  attractive  than  death,  the  exhibi- 
tions of  the  Modern  Artists  of  America  will  appear  to  every 
open  mind  more  attractive  than  those  of  the  various  academic 
societies. 

In  this  movement  lies  all  hope  for  the  future  of  art  in  America.
